# Illusory Brick Wall Illuminators The OG Brick Lamp Hides in Plain Sight to Illuminate After Dark By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2024-06-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/og-brick-lamp References: [homecrux](https://www.homecrux.com/og-brick-lamp-by-omar-gandhi-filo-timo-and-aaline/260359/) & [omargandhi](https://omargandhi.com/og-brick)  The OG Brick lamp has been designed by Omar Gandhi of the Toronto-based Omar Gandhi Architects in collaboration with Filo Timo and Aaline as a functional illuminator with a decidedly old-fashioned feel. The light is capable of being intreated into a wall where it will go to work blending into its masonry surroundings and will spring to life after dark to provide passive illumination. The light is constructed with a rigid metal body to support being positioned alongside the inherently heavy bricks and mortar. The OG Brick lamp is designed in two size options including single width and double width, which are both rectangular in shape to work seamlessly with the masonry aesthetic. The lights maintain a low-maintenance design and can be adjusted according to the preferences of the administrator.
